Long Live Gojira!
1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.')
Ans: Gaming. I'd be running, you know, Crysis (modded like hell), Skyrim (modded like hell), BF3, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, GTAV and all heavy games.
2. What is your overall budget? If you can extend a bit for a more balanced configuration, then mention this too.
Ans: 50K. That's it. Anything under it would be even better.
3. Planning to overclock?
Ans: Err... not much. Just about .5 GHz more than the stock, if at all that even helps. So cheap-arse cooling device please.
4. Which Operating System are you planning to use?
Ans: Windows 7 64-bit.
5. How much hard drive space is needed?
Ans: I already have 1 500GB & 1 320GB. So I need just another 500GB. No, I'm not gonna replace, I'll be adding.
6. Do you want to buy a monitor? If yes, please mention which screen size and resolution do you want. If you already have a monitor and want to reuse it, again mention the size and resolution of monitor you have.
Ans: Yeah, 22" @ 1080p. I have Acer AL1916W, it's 19" at 1440x900.
7. Which components you DON'T want to buy or which components you already have and plan on reusing?
Ans: KB, Mouse, Speakers, Optical Drive, RAM, PSU and cabby.
8. When are you planning to buy the system?
Ans: March.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
Ans: I have.
10. Where do you live? Are you buying locally? Are you open to buying stuff from online shops if you don't get locally?
Ans: Bangalore. Don't matter if locally or from online, I just need the best bang-for-buck.
11. Anything else which you would like to say?
Ans: This not another config thread. I've never come across a only-gaming-PC-for-under-50K thread. I won't be doing anything other than gaming, seriously. So I don't mind whether it's Intel or AMD as long as there's no big FPS difference. And err... is CM 600W Extreme PSU enough for the config you guys are suggesting? I don't care about cable management. I just want some money-saving things [I've come to know that money's very dear]. I also heard that RAM and motherboard prices will be going up soon and also that AMD are gonna be sticking with HD7xxx series for the rest of this year. IDK, NVIDIA maybe?
I already have this:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD5850
MB: MSI 870A-G54
Cabby: CM 430 Elite
If the CPU and RAM are enough, I'd be pouring all my dough to GPU.
TL;DR
Please help me. It's been three years since I last upgraded.
